This intersection is very difficult to cross and to access from North Stonelake Drive. People crossing from both sides cause complications with accessing the highway. There have been a lot of reported accidents and near accidents where people not slowing down have been factors.
I've noticed more and more (unofficial) signs at the roundabouts throughout town. There is already enough difficulty and danger with people learning to use the roundabouts, and I think allowing signs to be placed there is an additional distraction to drivers. Examples include signs for local performances and craft shows. Don't get me wrong, I support those events. I just don't think their signs should be at roundabouts to possibly distract drivers further. Also, the shack that was built at the Winslow/High roundabout is a bit of an eye sore, in addition to blocking the view for drivers. One visitor asked me if it was for homeless people. Other than the shack, I appreciate the landscaping there.
a “road work ahead” sign has been on our property for quite awhile and it blocks our view when leaving our driveway to turn onto the street. It is also in the space that we snowplow our snow. We would like it removed as soon as possible. We live at 8735 Penn Ave S, Bloomington, MN 55431 Thank you.
The 7th & Jefferson sign is bent over. Also, the stop sign at this intersection, on 7th heading west, is covered over by tree limbs. Thanks!
Just wanted to discuss with someone some dangerous driving that is going on in our neighborhood.
The intersection on Park and 2nd street is one of the most confusing intersections in Bloomington. I have personally nearly gotten in an accident while in this intersection dozens of times. The way it is currently set up is confusing and is always leading to congestion.
Going East on Grimes and turning South on Walnut in the morning and evening is already a nightmare. I must do it regularly. If you stop Eastbound drivers on Grimes from turning South on Walnut on the red light, simultaneously with the Walnut Northbound and Walnut Southbound drivers turning left on their green arrows [ie, turning West and East off of Walnut onto Grimes] then you will turn a bad dream into a nightmare. Traffic on Grimes is already so backed up in the morning and evening that it often backs all the way back to Rogers. If you choke off right-turn-on-red-to-go-South-on-Walnut for the people traveling East on Grimes, then it will back up all the way to Cook and no one will get anywhere. Hundreds of drivers turn right on red, going South on Walnut, every morning and evening. Put in a right turn lane for the eastbound traffic on Grimes!! Grimes from Walnut West is nuts every rush hour.
Stop sings are in need of repair. Both are leaning and one is facing the wrong way!
When traveling on E Thornton Dr headed west, when trying to turn unto Henderson, there is foliage that needs to be trimmed. My roommate and myself have had several close calls there. Traffic seems to get going really fast down that hill. Could possibly use a dangerous intersection sign or caution sign of some sort.
